Morphology
unviolated = violated (transparent) = un + violate + ed
The adjective is formed by prefixing 'un-' onto 'violated', a conventional negation of an adjectival/past-participial base.
Etymology
Unviolated comes from un- 'not' and violate, which means 'to break' a rule or right and is the same root as violation. So unviolated means 'not broken or infringed', used for laws, rights, or agreements that stay fully intact.
